I went from 220 a few weeks back, and this morning before my shower I was 214.
This new plan we have at work with the pedometer and recording our steps and any additional exercise time each day online to keep track of helps.
Plus I have cut back some more on food.
I also this week picked up from my vitamin dealer some of that green coffee bean extract, will see how that goes.
But since dropping six pounds in the past few weeks I have more energy that I can actually feel.
My goal is to get to 170, but back around '93 I was down to 150, and really felt great with a 31" waist.
Day 11 - up by a small amount...reads 250.0

If I keep on the path I'm on, I may to join this thread. Over the past few days I've had way too many opportunities to drink beer and eat junk food. Thankfully, I'm still exercising regularly.

My Day 11 - I'm down 1.6 Lbs. from 213.2 to 211.6, it's kinda slow, but at least I've started. My arms are sore from lifting and my legs are tired and weak from the elliptical. I'm a wimp.

In my experience, I weigh myself in the morning right after getting up. This should give you more consistent measurements than during the day since you don't have much food/water in you (other than the previous night's dinner).

I'm trying to find a good variety of cheap foods to eat for lunch at work. Since I make lunch the night before, it has to be something that's good cold or microwaved, and since I'm making this frequently, I don't want to spend a lot of time on it.
Also, I'm looking for things that are healthy (I know I could bring bacon to work every day and microwave it, but I don't want to die).
So far the things I've found are:
- Chili
- Salad (with some sort of beans or meat to make it filling)
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
- Pasta (with tomato sauce or pesto, or sauteed with mushrooms and tempeh)
Please include a link to a recipe or ingredient suggestions.

Superlight folding canoe fits in a backpack
The Adhoc features custom locking mechanisms at the bow and stern, to secure the poles that form the frame (Photo: Ori Levin)
Article Summary
First of all ... yes, you're right, there are already folding canoes. Those boats don't necessarily pack up all that small, though, and typically weigh in the neighborhood of at least 18 kilograms (40 lbs). They're portable, but you'd certainly notice that you were carrying one. Israeli designer Ori Levin, however, has created a one-of-a-kind folding canoe called the Adhoc, that tips (no pun intended) the scales at just 4.1 kilograms, or 9 pounds.

The Idea Box at Oak Park Public Library is a new experiment in community participation and library programming that invites visitors to "explore, learn, and play." The 9 x 13 glass-enclosed space opened in March and has already played host to several popular exhibitions.
Before the Idea Box opened, the space was home to a cafe and coffee shop. When the cafe closed, library staff and leadership thought hard about what they could put in that space that would engage the community and create something new. Assistant Director Jim Madigan had the idea to turn the room into an arts-focused community space; the Idea Box was born and the scope of the project has expanded to include science and technology-based exhibits as well as art.
The Idea Box is highly visible; every visitor to the library walks past it, so everything that takes place there has to be interesting, interactive, community-focused and participatory. Another goal is that the exhibitions appeal to all age groups. For National Poetry Month, the library painted the Idea Box walls with magnetic paint and filled them with magnetic poetry that visitors could use to create their own poems. Customer Service Manager Monica Harris noted how successful this exhibition was in terms of engaging all age groups: 'You've got small kids in here, you've got senior citizens in here, you've got teenagers in here, and everybody is kind of doing their own thing and looking at each other's work…Everyone can really approach this on their own level and make it work for them."
The Real Art Work (RAW) exhibition featured 17 artists actively working on their art in the Idea Box. Artists were scheduled for every hour that the library was open during the three week exhibition period; they created all different kinds of art at all different levels of expertise. Pieces were hung on the Idea Box walls as the artists completed them.
"It has been really exciting to be in a place where the creative experience inside is always changing," says Harris. "The visual representation of the art has grown as the three weeks have gone on." According to Harris, working in public was a new experience for the artists too. Many of them were used to working in their own homes or studios, and have found it inspiring to work in a new space and with an audience When the RAW exhibition concluded, art created during the exhibition went on sale, with 20% of the proceeds benefiting Oak Park Public Library art fund.

what a great idea! (no pun intended)

"9 x 13″? You should probably include the units on that. Also, as a typographic nicety, an actual multiplication symbol, ×, looks better than a lower case x. Yes, I'm quite anal retentive.

I like the fact that the dimensions are left up to the imagination, or to be inferred from the picture if desired. I like the fact that the picture has a wicked glare, so we can see in fact that there are trees on the other side of the street and that this place is not embedded in an urban jungle. I like the fact that this post conveyed to me the sense of what it means to be spontaneous, creative and just getting to it, without being wrapped around the axle in minutia. I used to worry about things I couldn't change, or that didn't ultimately matter. Once I learned to tell the difference, my life got a lot easier, and I started understanding posts like this a lot more. Yes, I try to live just for today.

Land grading involves reshaping the ground surface to planned grades as determined by an engineering survey, evaluation, and layout. Land grading provides more suitable topography for buildings, facilities, and other land uses and helps to control surface runoff, soil erosion, and sedimentation during and after construction.
Land grading is applicable to sites with uneven or steep topography or easily erodible soils, because it stabilizes slopes and decreases runoff velocity. Grading activities should maintain existing drainage patterns as much as possible.
Siting and Design Considerations
Before grading activities begin, a construction site operator must make decisions regarding the steepness of cut-and-fill slopes and how the slopes will be
Prepare a grading plan that establishes which areas of the site will be graded, how drainage patterns will be directed, and how runoff velocities will affect receiving waters. Also in the grading plan, include information about when earthwork will start and stop, establish the degree and length of finished slopes, and dictate where and how excess material will be disposed of (or where borrow materials will be obtained if needed). Land grading should be a key consideration for Construction Sequencing. Try to minimize exposed soils at any given time during construction. Incorporate in the plan any berms, diversions, and other stormwater practices that require excavation and filling.
Care should be taken if blasting agents or explosives are used. These products may contain perchlorates, which are water soluble chemicals. If explosives containing perchlorate must be used, then good housekeeping practices should be employed to ensure that any debris is properly disposed.
A low-impact development BMP that a site operator can incorporate into a grading plan is site fingerprinting, which involves clearing and grading only those areas necessary for building activities and equipment traffic. Maintaining undisturbed temporary or permanent buffer zones in the grading operation provides a low-cost sediment control measure that will help reduce runoff and offsite sedimentation. Let the lowest elevation of the site remain undisturbed to provide a protected stormwater outlet before storm drains or other construction outlets are installed.
Improper grading practices that disrupt natural stormwater patterns might lead to poor drainage, high-runoff velocities, and increased peak flows during storm events. Clearing and grading the entire site without vegetated buffers promotes offsite transport of sediments and other pollutants. Design the grading plan with erosion and sediment control and stormwater management goals in mind; to ensure that the plan is implemented as intended, carefully supervise grading crews.
Maintenance Considerations
Check all graded areas and supporting erosion and sediment control practices periodically, especially after heavy rainfalls. Promptly remove all sediment from diversions or other stormwater conveyances, and if washouts or breaks occur, repair them immediately. To prevent small-scale eroded areas from becoming significant gullies, maintain them promptly.
Land grading is an effective way to reduce steep slopes and stabilize highly erodible soils when properly implemented with stormwater management and erosion and sediment control practices. Land grading is not effective when drainage patterns are altered or when vegetated areas on the perimeter of the site are destroyed (USEPA, 2004).
Cost Considerations
Land grading is practiced at virtually all construction sites. It can take a certified engineer or landscape architect several hours of work to incorporate stormwater and erosion and sediment controls in the grading plan. It might take extra time to excavate diversions and construct berms. Also, fill materials might be needed to build up low-lying areas or fill depressions. Where grading is performed to manage on-site stormwater, the cost of fine grading, soil treatment, and grassing is approximately $2 per square yard of earth surface area and shallow excavation/trenching (1 to 4 feet deep) with a backhoe in areas not requiring dewatering can be performed for $4 to $5 per cubic yard of removed material (R. S. Means, 2000). Larger scale grading requires a site-specific assessment of an alternative grading apparatus and a detailed fill/excavation material balance to retain as much soil on site as possible.

The Transportation Security Administration has finally begun implementing Secure Flight, after a controversial five-year gestation.
Under the program, first recommended by the 9/11 Commission, TSA will gradually take over responsibility for terrorist watch-list screening from individual airlines. TSA intends to be screening all domestic flights by the beginning of 2010 and all international flights by the end of 2010.
As the program is phased in, airlines will become responsible for ensuring that the names passengers provide when purchasing tickets match the names on their government-issued IDs, the identification passengers show at TSA airport security checkpoints. TSA has said that, in the "short term," small differences between a passengers' ID and reservation information—such as a missing middle initial— "will not be an issue for passengers." But it warned that "over time, passengers should strive to obtain consistency between the name on their government-issued ID and the travel information they use for booking flights."
Beginning August 15, passengers will be required to provide their gender and date of birth when booking flights.
Secure Flight was first introduced in 2004, and then delayed in 2006 as accuracy problems and privacy issues continued to dog the program. TSA says that since then it has worked extensively to ensure the program maximizes individual privacy.
